Amazon’s Cacas Dinosaur: Fossil Secrets Unveiled

Dinosaur-related research has always aroused a lot of interest among the public. In this context, we noticed that some posts on social media claimed that scientists had recently found the best-preserved dinosaur fossil and that it could even be labeled as a “dinosaur mummy.” However, our investigation proved that this was part of an April Fool’s Day joke.

Many social media users shared a collection of photographs on April Fool’s Day (April 1) of the supposedly best-preserved dinosaur scientists have ever found, with the following proportion.

Scientists consider it the best-preserved dinosaur specimen ever discovered. This fossilized theropod, accidentally discovered by researchers in the Upper Wilson Creek area of Pisgah National Forest, should be more than 77 million years old, although the skeleton, bodies and organs appear to be intact. According to the North Carolina Museum of Natural History in Raleigh, which recently discovered the find, the dinosaur is so well preserved that rather than a “fossil,” we could safely call it a “dinosaur mummy.”

Researchers who examined the animal were stunned by its unprecedented level of preservation. The animal’s bones, teeth and even some of its entrails were intact, something they had never seen before.

“It doesn’t take much imagination to reconstruct it; if you just squint, you could almost believe it was sleeping,” one researcher said.

Although it remains a mystery how the dinosaur mummy could have remained so intact for so long, researchers suggest that the theropod may have been swept away by a flooded river and carried out to the open sea, where it eventually sank to the now-exposed ocean floor.

It is now believed to be an Appalachiosaurus and conservation experts are trying to scramble its DNA. Dr James Harviп says: “Knowing that this animal roamed this area, we will make every effort to restore the species. We hope to be able to return it to its original habitat.”
